Tag Archives: cushion Game Dutch Japan comfort gaming

Playing video games should be pure, childlike fun–not the cause for chronic neck and shoulder pain. Those are problems real adults should deal with, not thirty-something year old gamers who refuse to grow up.

This huggable cushion, called Game Dutch, from Japanese company Lofty (makers of the sleep analysis pillow) was carefully crafted to be huggable AND great for posture while you’re attached to your controller.

I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.

Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
